I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

The next day, the tribespeople went about their business, and the planting team also set off with their tools. They already had some experience from planting sweet potatoes, so they could just continue now.

Jiang Ning went to the shaman's cave as usual. This time, the shaman didn't ask her to process the herbs. Instead, he had her sit cross-legged in front of him.

“Jiang Ning, now that you are recognized by your clan as a shaman disciple, I will now formally teach you how to meditate.”

"Yes, teacher," Jiang Ning replied respectfully.

She felt a surge of excitement. Although she had learned a lot from the shaman, the real shaman was still a foreign concept to her.

The shaman smiled at her and slowly said, "Meditation is not only a process of increasing strength, but also a method of training the mind and body. You need to learn to calm your mind and eliminate distractions in order to better communicate with heaven and earth."

Jiang Ning listened attentively, silently taking notes of every word.

“First, you must learn to breathe,” the shaman said. “Inhale through your nose, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Feel the breath flowing through your body.”

Following the shaman's instructions, Jiang Ning began to breathe slowly. She tried to calm herself, but she still felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. As her body gradually relaxed, she felt herself become soft and light.

"Next, you need to focus on feeling the power within you. This power lies dormant within you, and only when you awaken it can you truly master its power." The shaman's tone revealed a mysterious and solemn aura.

Jiang Ning closed her eyes and focused on the power within her body. She felt a warm power surging from within, a power that, though still relatively weak, made her feel very safe and comfortable.

“Now, I will teach you how to guide this power,” the shaman said. “Concentrate your consciousness on this power, and then guide it with your will.”

Jiang Ning felt a surge of excitement; she knew this was the moment she had been waiting for. She listened intently to the shaman's instructions, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Jiang Ning focused her mind, feeling her body become more sensitive and clear. She guided the power within her body with her thoughts, letting it slowly flow throughout her entire being.

“Very good.” The shaman’s voice rang in your ears. “You have successfully guided the power within you. The next step is to learn how to use this power.”

"Use your will to control this power and make it work for you." The shaman's tone was full of encouragement and expectation.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, concentrating all her thoughts and strength, trying her best to control this power. Suddenly, she felt a powerful energy surge within her body, flowing through her entire being, making her feel as if she had become as hard as steel.

"I succeeded!" Jiang Ning cheered inwardly. She was overjoyed to feel that she had initially grasped the power of witchcraft and how to use it.

“Very good, Jiang Ning, you have done very well.” The shaman’s voice was full of praise and encouragement. “You have successfully mastered the guidance and use of the power within your body. This is the first step for you to become a shaman, and also the most important one. Next, I will teach you how to use this power to enhance your perception, healing abilities, and other shamanic skills.”

Jiang Ning was filled with gratitude and reverence, knowing this was a turning point on her path to becoming a shaman. She listened intently to the shaman's teachings, carefully comprehending and practicing each step.

The shaman began to demonstrate to Jiang Ning how to use the power within her body to enhance her perception. He instructed her to calm her mind and focus on sensing everything around her. Jiang Ning closed her eyes and concentrated on perceiving all the sounds, smells, and movements around her.

Suddenly, she felt a faint sound in her ear. The sound was as faint as a thread, but Jiang Ning could clearly feel its presence.

She used her mind to trace the source of the sound, and gradually, she found that she could perceive a wider range of sounds and smells around her.

Wu instructed Jiang Ning to concentrate and focus on sensing the life energy around her. She diligently perceived all the life force around her and then merged her own life energy with it.

As Jiang Ning closed her eyes, the shaman extended her right index finger, chanted a spell, and pressed it against Jiang Ning's brow. A faint white light emanated from the tip of her finger, as if a warm power was flowing into Jiang Ning's body.

This power is the legacy of the sorcerer, and also a seed. It will lead Jiang Ning onto the path of the sorcerer. It is also like a gentle stream, warm and delicate, making Jiang Ning feel as if her soul is being cleansed and sublimated.

As the white light flowed, Jiang Ning felt her consciousness gradually become clearer and sharper. She was able to perceive everything around her more deeply, as if she were in a clear and transparent world.

Bathed in this light, Jiang Ning seemed to temporarily gain the power of a witch. She could clearly sense the fluctuations and auras of life around her, see the tribe's past history, and seemed to be able to travel through time and space and communicate with all things.

Enveloped in this white light, Jiang Ning felt herself growing closer and closer to the shaman. She could almost feel the shaman's soul and wisdom, and sense his love and care.

Memories of the sorcerer kept flooding into her mind. She knew this was the sorcerer's legacy, her spiritual mentor and guide.

As the power of the witch's legacy gradually faded, Jiang Ning felt some changes occurring in her body. She felt as if her body resonated with some mysterious power, which was slowly surging within her.

Suddenly, her forehead began to burn, as if something was about to burst forth from her body. She nervously touched her forehead and discovered a shape forming—a wolf totem!

The wolf totem emitted a faint golden light, blending seamlessly with her body. Its form was agile, its eyes fierce, as if proclaiming its power and majesty. Finally, it faded away, leaving only a faint trace, as if it might disappear at any moment.

Jiang Ning felt a surge of awe and wonder. She knew that this wolf totem was a fusion of the shaman's inherited power and her own soul, a symbol of her rebirth and strength.

"Jiang Ning, this is the legacy of our Tianlang tribe's shaman, and also the awakening of bloodline," the shaman said solemnly, his tone filled with seriousness and awe.

Jiang Ning's heart tightened; she knew the importance of this ritual. She listened intently to the shaman's explanation.

“Every member of the tribe will undergo bloodline awakening. Those who successfully awaken will have a totem implanted on their chest, which will be the source of their power,” the shaman continued.

“Only the shaman is different,” the shaman continued solemnly. “The shaman is the source of the tribe’s wisdom, therefore the shaman’s totem is on his forehead.”

"Without the totem's recognition, even if I announce to everyone that you are a disciple of the shaman, you will forever remain merely a figurehead!"

Jiang Ning touched her brow. She knew that this was the fusion of the witch's inherited power with her own soul, a symbol of her rebirth and power.

"Now that you have received the shaman's inheritance, you are the true disciple of the shaman."

"Go out and see your people; they've already sensed it." It turns out that when Jiang Ning planted the totem, the tribe's totems would all sense it.

Jiang Ning slowly walked out of the cave. The cave was filled with people, and the entire tribe stood silently outside the cave without saying a word.

When the tribesmen saw the totem on Jiang Ning's forehead, they all knelt on one knee, clenched their right fists and placed them on their chests, shouting in unison, "The Sky Wolf Tribe pays respects to Witch Jiang!"

Regardless of how many disciples a tribe has, only the true shaman is addressed as "shaman" by the tribe; others are addressed by their given name, as a sign of respect and distinction.

Looking at her people, Jiang Ning knew this was the tribe's trust and expectation of her. "I will work together with everyone for the future of the Tianlang tribe! For a better life for our people!" Jiang Ning said firmly.

She knew that becoming a shaman was not just about possessing totems and power, but also about a responsibility and a mission. She would use her wisdom and strength to solve problems for the tribe and its people, and to safeguard the tribe's peace and prosperity.

At the same time, Jiang Ning also understands that her cultivation path has only just begun, and she needs to continuously learn and practice to improve her witchcraft skills and wisdom.

She believes that as long as she stays closely connected with her tribe and experiences the world with her heart, she will become a true shaman, bringing more hope and strength to her tribe and its people.

After the tribespeople gradually dispersed, the shaman emerged from the cave and said to Jiang Ning, "From now on, you won't need to stay here all the time except for organizing the herbs. To become a shaman, you need not only to meditate but also to experience this world."

Jiang Ning felt a warmth in her heart; she knew this was the shaman guiding her on the path to becoming a true shaman. She looked at the shaman gratefully and nodded silently.
